Hand #78: Joseph Di Rosa Rojas limped in from the small blind, and Julian Stuer raised to 400,000 from the big blind. Rojas called. The flop came {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Rojas check-called a bet of 225,000 from Stuer. The turn was the {2-Spades} and both players checked to the river, which was the {3-Spades}. Both players checked again and Rojas tabled {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for the winner.

Hand #79: Tim Reilly raised to 275,000 from under the gun and Jeffrey Tomlinson defended his big blind. The flop came {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Tomlinson check-folded to a bet of 125,000 from Reilly.

Hand #80: Rojas raised to 275,000 from the cutoff and Reilly defended his big blind. The flop came {9-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} and both players checked to the turn, which was the {6-Hearts}. Reilly bet 300,000 and Rojas folded.

Hand #81: Tomlinson raised to 325,000 on the button and Alexander Lynskey moved all in for 1,970,000 from the big blind. Tomlinson snap-called.

Lynskey was at risk with {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and was well behind the {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} of Tomlinson. The flop came {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Lynskey picked up a flush draw. The turn was the {4-Spades} and Lynskey's rail yelled, "Heart!" The {k-Hearts} hit the river, and Lynskey doubled through.
